SMP server fails to get HTTPS credentials, XFTP fine

[ruckel]

The script I'm running results in the XFTP server getting up and running, but the SMP server fails with the error: no HTTPS credentials: /etc/opt/simplex/web.crt, /etc/opt/simplex/web.key

Any pointers?

Same issue

I encountered the same problem today.

It seems /etc/opt/simplex/web.crt, /etc/opt/simplex/web.key are only used for the built in web service to show the server info page with tls. See explanation in #1399. Since I'm using Nginx reverse proxy, I don't need the https connection in this docker.

The solution I found is quite simple. So I commented these 3 lines in ~/simplex/smp/config/smp-server.ini:

#https: 443 #cert: /etc/opt/simplex/web.crt #key: /etc/opt/simplex/web.key

And uncommented 1 line: http: 8000

Then I restarted the container.

If you really want to use https and LetsEncrypt. I guess you need to generate the cert and key file by certbot and then rename them to web.cert and web.key.

Please, can you share a working Nginx template for SMP and/or XFTP self-hosted server?
